vitty box help

Post by C368MOO » Tue Aug 18, 2009 12:23 am

hey guys looking for any help with a vittys gear box,
this evening it jus didnt want to go in to any gear and when it finally did, it wouldnt come out, there was no drive and just stalled the engine when the clutch was dipped,
earlyer today it slipped out of 4th once, but now just wont go in to any gear, it has no history of gear box problems and has done 86000 miles.
i need it fixed ASAP as i dont really want to be driving my SJ from surrey to south wales next monday when i go back to work.

sounds like the selectors have sliped!.. (the box is now in two gears). or one of the gears has come loose on the main shaft etc. (propaply explain why it jumped out of gear). best bet is two take out the box and have a look. ive not taken a vit box apart, but ive done others, some have a plate, or some you remove the end cone. but im sure theres a write up somewere..
